Aebleskevers are a traditional Danish dessert that is similar to a light and fluffy pancake ball. They are often filled with jam or other sweet fillings, though they can also be enjoyed on their own with a dusting of powdered sugar. Aebleskevers are a unique and delicious treat that are perfect for serving at special occasions, weddings, or holiday gatherings. They are typically cooked in a special pan with round wells and turned with a skewer or fork as they cook to get an even crispy exterior.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and flour until combined.
2.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
3.	In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy.
4.	Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the buttermilk and flour mixture and stir well.
5.	Gently fold in the egg yolks and then the egg whites, being careful not to overmix.
6.	Heat an aebleskever pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to each well of the pan.
7.	Pour the batter into each well of the pan, filling them about 2/3 of the way.
8.	Use a skewer or fork to turn the aebleskevers as they cook, ensuring that they cook evenly on all sides and are golden brown.
9.	Once cooked, remove the aebleskevers from the pan and dust them with powdered sugar.
